For my first trip to Europe,

I started in London.

Back then, my English wasn't great,

and it was my first time traveling abroad solo,

so I decided to book a Korean guesthouse.

Looking back, I was totally the spontaneous 'P' type.

I sent a booking inquiry for a Korean guesthouse on my departure day

and only received a reply after arriving at London Heathrow Airport, haha!

It was quite reckless, but by staying at a Korean guesthouse,

I gained a lot of information and met wonderful people.

Especially if it's your first time traveling to Europe,

it's important not just to look at accommodation prices,

but also to consider factors like distance from the subway station, whether Korean breakfast is provided,

minimum stay duration, and more.

Especially for first-time European travelers who are worried about English,

I've outlined the reasons why choosing a Korean guesthouse is a great idea

and narrowed down 4 recommended Korean guesthouses in London.

01 London Korean Guesthouse: 3 Minutes from King's Cross Station

Among the London Korean guesthouses,

the first one that caught my eye was

London Pangpang Guesthouse.

When I was younger, I always looked for the cheapest prices first,

but after a few trips, I realized that the most important thing is

accessibility.

London Pangpang Guesthouse offers

female-only 3- and 4-person rooms, as well as mixed 4-person rooms,

and at £45 per night,

the price is quite reasonable.

Above all, its biggest advantage is being just a 3-minute walk from London King's Cross Station.

When you first arrive in London,

everything from getting from Heathrow Airport to finding your accommodation

can feel challenging.

If you secure accommodation close to a station,

the burden of lugging your suitcase around will be greatly reduced,

and you'll adjust to your destination much more easily.

On Minda (a Korean guesthouse booking platform for London),

it has 257 reviews with a rating of 4.94,

so the reviews are quite trustworthy.

On weekdays, they offer Korean breakfast,

and for dinner, self-serve ramen is provided.

What I loved was that they even offer free laundry service

on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

If you're looking for a London Korean guesthouse that's close to a station and offers great accessibility,

definitely check it out! 👇

02 If Price is Your Top Priority

If you're looking to save as much as possible on accommodation costs,

London Mint House is definitely worth checking out.

It's one of the most affordable options at £40 per night,

and it's about a 15-minute walk from King's Cross Station.

The hosts are young, so the rooms are super clean,

and they have single beds, not bunk beds,

which is a nice touch!

When staying at a Korean guesthouse (Hanin Minbak),

many people usually book for longer stays,

but London Mint House

allows you to book from just one night.

London's cost of living is notoriously high, so

if you prefer not to spend too much on accommodation

and plan to spend all day sightseeing,

only coming back to the guesthouse to sleep,

then this quality at this price point

seems like a really great choice!

For those who believe saving on accommodation is key,

check out the room conditions and reviews first👇

03 If You're Planning to Travel to Paris

When you're on your first European trip,

you often find yourself not just staying in London,

but also traveling to other cities, right?

Personally, if you have your next itinerary

planned for mainland Europe,

then London Cheongchun Minbak (Youth Guesthouse) might be worth paying attention to.

Cheongchun Minbak is about 10 minutes from King's Cross Station

and about 6 minutes from St Pancras Station.

Here, St Pancras International is important.

This is the station where the Eurostar departs from London

for Paris, Amsterdam, and other destinations.

If your itinerary involves finishing your London trip

and heading to Paris (or other cities),

or conversely, arriving in London,

then this location is quite convenient because you won't have to

drag your luggage a long distance early in the morning, right?

If you were like me on my first European trip

and didn't even properly know how to travel between European cities,

then I highly recommend choosing an accommodation like this.

If you have a next travel itinerary to Paris or beyond,

I recommend London Cheongchun Minbak👇

04 Female-Only London Korean Guesthouse

Especially if you're a female traveler planning a solo trip to London,

then Kkulkkul Minbak, a female-only Korean guesthouse in London,

could be a great option!

Based on a female 4-person room, it's £55 per night.

While the price might be a bit higher,

the biggest advantage is probably the increased safety and security!

London's female-only Korean guesthouse, Kkulkkul Minbak, offers

breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

And in a charming, feminine guesthouse style (?),

breakfast includes items like open sandwiches and granola.

What really stood out, unlike other accommodations,

was that they serve Korean food for dinner.

It really caught my eye.

It's a guesthouse, but you don't want to lose that aesthetic vibe!

For solo female travelers,

this London Korean guesthouse comes highly recommended! 👇

If it's your first time traveling solo in Europe,

rather than just looking for the cheapest accommodation,

I recommend you consider if the location fits your itinerary,

and look at other conditions as well.

At a Korean guesthouse in London,

you might gain unexpected information,

meet new friends,

and if any problems arise,

it's easy to ask the host for help.

That's why I often seek out Korean guesthouses.

​

It's a good idea to choose not just based on price, but also considering your next travel plans,

Korean food, laundry availability, female-only dormitories, and other various options.

Typically, for London Korean guesthouses,

the host needs to confirm first

before the reservation is finalized.

So, don't search in a hurry like I did ^^;

I recommend contacting them in advance before your trip

to finalize your booking.
